Women seem to be looking for “nice guys,” to date, now – “bad boys” just don’t look as good, any more.

A recent poll from Dating.com reveals that 85-percent of single women say they are now seeking a steady partner, particularly after the lessons learned during pandemic lockdown, and in the years, since.

Before the pandemic, 60-percent of women (almost two out of three) on the platform said they were “open to short-term flings.” But, in the time since then, 30-percent (one in three) “changed their relationship goals because of (that) year’s dating experiences,” and the ones which came, after.

The company said in a statement, “[S]ingle women shared that they are now more attracted to dates who are consistent and dependable. Women expressed that a relationship with someone who guarantees stability is key amid Covid and ongoing uncertainty,” in coming years.

A study, which came out in May of 2021, echoed this, noting, “a partner’s stability and family commitment” had become more important to singles of both sexes since that lifechanging and medically educational time.

Life coach Markie Damiana says the lessons learned generated renewed focus on “the preciousness of time in relationships, and how limited we are when it comes to actually finding your ‘one.’”

She says women want to spend time with someone who is “really valuable,” as opposed to someone they might “play around with.” Her advice for nice guys: “Lean into your nice guy-ness. Lean into being yourself.”
